Asymptotic bound for equiangular lines with angle arccos 1/(2r-1)

About 11 years old · traced to

Let N1/(2r−1)(d)N_{1/(2r-1)}(d) denote the maximum number of equiangular lines in Rd\mathbb{R}^d with common angle arccos⁡12r−1\arccos \frac{1}{2r-1}, where r≥2r\geq 2 is an integer. Asymptotic equiangular-lines conjecture. For every integer r≥2r\geq 2,

N1/(2r−1)(d)=rr−1d+O(1)N_{1/(2r-1)}(d)=\frac{r}{r-1}d+O(1)

as dd tends to infinity. The construction preceding the conjecture gives the matching lower bound, and the cited results suggest that it is sharp; the conjectured asymptotic upper bound remains open.
